Hello

[Gleamchaser]

Hi, I'm a 25 year old female from the USA who has been dealing with anxiety/panic attacks and mild OCD from a very early age. Over the years I've been diagnosed, formally and informally, with everything but panic disorder. No one gets it, I hardly understand it and so my attempts at reachong out for help have so far been met by a barrage of "Just get over it" or "You've nothing to be nervous about"....

At any rate, I'm glad to find this site. :o)

A very big hello to you Gleamchaser. You are certainly correct to say that you've found the right site as this is one of the most supportive and helpful anxiety forums their is in the galaxy and just liked you believed we do indeed say much more supportive and helpful things than "Just get over it" as that gives me the impression that that person saying that really doesn't care and understand what the person with the panic or anxiety is going through.

Have a superb time with us, and look foward to seeing you around.:yesyes:

Hi Gleamchaser-you've come to the right place for support and understanding. No-one here will dismiss you by telling you to pull yourself together! Take care and I hope this site will help you understand your anxiety better.

Hi everyone!! I'm new here and glad I have found a site that shows that I am not completely mad!!! I'm 30 and mum to four kiddies and have had panic attacks since childhood which then became more frequent, now usually daily, when I had a miscarriage 5 years ago. I was diagnosed with panic disorder and secondary agoraphobia. I've had various therapies but haven't tried medication, the thought of taking it makes me panicky!!! lol!!! Things are hard but I try to keep busy, my children help with that side of things of course!! It's nice to see that there are people who do understand and that I am not on my own, many people don't seem to understand these problems and I am quite sick of explaining why I can't go out and do 'normal' things. Anyway, I will hopefully speak to you all soon,
